Coffee & Content: 6 Ways to Edit Any Scene & The Soul of Good Character Design

Period Piece SEB
Posted by Richard "RB" Botto

Happy Sunday Creative Army!

I've got my coffee in hand and your weekly dose of content coming in hot - grab your coffee of choice and let's dive right in.

First up, the folks over at StudioBinder have a great video featuring six ways to edit any scene. Specifically, you will learn about editing using the intellectual montage, eye trace, cross cutting, eyeline match, the j cut, and the I cut. You will see examples from The Matrix: Resurrections, Mad Max: Fury Road, Pulp Fiction, Interstellar, and many more. 

Next up, Lessons from a Screenplay talks about the soul of good character design. This video breaks down the two foundational elements of a great character: want and need. To illustrate this, they use the Pixar animated film Soul as an example. 

As always here at Stage 32, we love to share stories and knowledge with our fellow film fans. Know someone who would love this content? Share it with them! Tag them below!
